WHO ARE THEY9

In the hurly- burly of business and current
events many important things are seemingly
forgotten. Did it ever occur to the good peo-
pie of this country-irrespective Of party
who the national leaders of the great parties
are to-day? What is their personal history
and what their relation to the great events of
the last quarter of a century? Almost every
Democratic leader Of to-day was an active
rebel during the late war, sympathizer
with the lost cause. Every Republican leader
was Union soldier, or an active friend of
the Union cause. Just call the roll. name

my friend Capt. Francis A. Shoup is
about visiting the South, with his sister, on

II have known Captain Shoup since our
boyhood. We were schoolmates. He is
gradute of West Point, and was in the army
as a lieutenant four years. No more honorable

THE Richmond Telegram says of the

cision upon the lieutenant governorship:

construction as these passages imply, then
how is it possible for any man to resign or ever
die from the governorship or the lieutenant
governorship. If the term [of mani must
unqualifedly begin in specified year and run
four full years therefrom, resignation OF death,
by practically shortening the term, practically
defeats the Constitution. 1t seems to us that

who ought to be presiding over the Senate.

Turpie never proposed it, never suggested
it, never advocated it, never urged it, and
never promoted it, The sections of

This is an absolute and unqualified mis-
statement. Borrowing the language of the
Sentinel, we may say, another lie nailed. y
There were no such Intimidation laws in the

not be found. They do not appear in the
statutes of the State at any time or place.
They were reported by Mr.. Turpies commits

Democratic parentage, and David Turpie is re

tIn view of the conduct of the brutal bully
now occupying the Senate chair, we should like
to see the Republican SO pusillanimous as to

either of parliamentary usage or courtesy, and
there is no Republican who would tolerate his
presidency for moment in joint convention"
